Kev Adams is the guest of Europe 1 this Monday February 13 in the program "Culture Médias" to present his new show "Miroir", on tour throughout France.
In this one man show, the comedian tries to understand why he still has so much trouble accepting himself.
His complexes are in fact linked to the school harassment he suffered, as he explains at the microphone of Philippe Vandel.
Kev Adams has become, in just a few years, one of the most essential comedians of his generation.
However, at 30, he still has not made peace with himself and especially with his appearance.
“Why am I having so much trouble with my physique?” he wonders in his new show
Mirror.
“I had a hard time being overweight”
Invited to
Culture Médias
on Monday February 13 to talk about this one man show, Kev Adams confided in his persistent malaise, and his origins, which he explores in
Mirror.
"
I have a lot of trouble with my image," says the comedian at the microphone of Philippe Vandel.
"It's quite paradoxical since we live in a world of images and I do a job of images and I have a lot of trouble with that," he continues.
Kev Adams thinks he has trouble with his physique because he has kept the complexes of his childhood: "Because, when I was little, I was overweight. And, I had a hard time being overweight “, he underlines on Europe 1. Small, Kev Adams was mocked because of his corpulence.

"We make fun of kids because they are different"
"They called me Kevo the big one", remembers Kev Adams.
"I say it in the show. There was a side 'we make fun of kids because they are different'", he explains to Philippe Vandel.
However, the comedian considers himself almost "lucky".
Because, at the time, in the early 2000s, social networks did not yet exist.
"In fact, in my time, I say it in the sketch, the bullying stopped when you left school. You see, when I was at home, I was quiet," he says.
Today, Kev Adams faces criticism from Internet users on social networks but "doesn't give a damn".
"It's even scary sometimes," jokes the comedian.
"I'm super detached," he concludes.
